<a name="how-to-delete-tag-git"></a>

Follow these steps to use Git from a local repo to delete a Git tag in a CodeCommit repository.

These steps are written with the assumption that you have already connected the local repo to the CodeCommit repository. For instructions, see [Connect to a repository](how-to-connect.md).

1. To delete the Git tag from the local repo, run the **git tag -d *tag-name*** command where *tag-name* is the name of the Git tag you want to delete.
**Tip**  
To get a list of Git tag names, run **git tag**.

   For example, to delete a Git tag in the local repo named `beta`:

   ```
   git tag -d beta
   ```

1. To delete the Git tag from the CodeCommit repository, run the **git push *remote-name* --delete *tag-name*** command where *remote-name* is the nickname the local repo uses for the CodeCommit repository and *tag-name* is the name of the Git tag you want to delete from the CodeCommit repository.
**Tip**  
To get a list of CodeCommit repository names and their URLs, run the **git remote -v** command.

   For example, to delete a Git tag named `beta` in the CodeCommit repository named `origin`:

   ```
   git push origin --delete beta
   ```
